## About Day of Defeat: Source

Day of Defeat: Source is a World War II multiplayer first-person shooter developed and published by Valve, released in 2010 at $9.99 USD and playable on Steam Deck.

Players describe the gunplay as punchy and the gameplay loop as simple but deep, while reviewers highlight that class roles matter more than individual skill in achieving team objectives. Set across historically inspired battlefields, the experience carries a competitive tension that long-standing fans find nostalgic. The title holds a 91% positive rating from more than 7,400 Steam reviews.
